I think you need to go back to the store where you bought it. As long as you have your receipt, you should be able to trade it for another set. The store is the intermediary between you and the manufacturer, so they should be dealing with them.

I agree with Rick.

What a shame that happened. I am sure the store will remedy that situation for you.

It's very disappointing to know something like this could happen. You look forward to something special and it is effed up. :(

It sure is. For that kind of money, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. I imagine the store will do their best to remedy the situation since the poster paid good money for it.

Listen, i find it quite hard to believe that the ONE disc we pay that price for was not in there, you had better get it for sure, bad enough we have to buy something we already have to get that one bonus disc that they should have sold seperately in the first place, you had better not ever buy that again just to get a disc that anybody can make you a copy of if you can't get satisfaction where you bought the boxed set to begin with.:mad: :mad: :mad:

hi everybody i just wanted to say thanks to all of you for writing back and trying to help me out but the bad news is i tried and they said they can't take it back since i didn't return it the same week that i got it so am very upset i mean anybody else who got that box set would be upset too if they didn't get the bonus disc i guess i could do two things one find someone who can copy the bonus disc for me or give my set to one of my family members or friend's and just rebuy the box set but am not sure if am willing to spend the money again

Don't you think you should try contacting the distributor first? They should KNOW that someone got a set that is missing it's most important part, the bonus disc is the ONE thing that you bought that set for and to not have in there, well you should contact CBS or Paramount or whoever is responsible and have them mail you a new one. Barring that, then anybody else who has one can make you a copy of the disc, it takes mere minutes to copy, but i would try the rip off experts first, they should get this product out COMPLETE to the stores. Maybe someone , a Lucy fan no doubt, aquired the one disc that was worth taking from that box, but you should not have to pay the price for their stealing it.

What store did you buy this at? Most of the ones I know give you 30 days.

I agree. Seven days sounds bogus. I would check the receipt and see if it says anything about seven days. It sounds to me the store just doesn't want to deal with it. I'd be steaming mad if they told me that. The store is supposed to serve the customer. We pay them retail prices for that service. I would demand an exchange, and if they push back, I would raise my voice and show a little anger so other customers can hear what's going on. Sometimes that works. They don't want their other customers to know they treat customers unfairly.

I'm having Internet trouble right now, but I think the link below will get you the information you need. If not, Google "fye return policy" From what I can tell, their policy is 30 days. Somebody at that store is feeding you a bunch of bull.

Oh, and print out the policy and take it back to the store with you.

OH Nuts!

I'd complain online to fye and see if that helps. Did you pay with a credit card. If you did, maybe you can get the credit card company to help you. If you make a good faith effort with a store and they don't honor the effort, you may be able to return the set and get a chargeback.

That is great news. I am glad it worked out for you. It pays to never give up and to persist. Enjoy your boxset!:wave:
